This page provides links to unofficial developer snapshot builds. The builds are provided by community volunteers until there are build-bots providing automated builds for all platforms.

NOTE: This page lists development snapshots for version 3.4, that was released in final form in May 2012. If you are looking for current development snapshots, see Development Snapshot Builds.

IMPORTANT: These builds are intended to be used for early testing by other community volunteers. They have no release quality and should not be installed in a production environment. Developer snapshots can be unstable and are expected to have bugs.

Please report problems revealed by installation and testing of a snapshot as soon as possible. Found issues should be submitted in the issue tracker. Issues, along with subsequent issue-investigation and -resolution updates, are announced automatically on the ooo-issues mailing list.

Developer snapshots by Revision Number

The current SVN Revision Number of the repository is used to identify snapshots built from the Subversion Repository that is current as of that revision. The revision numbers are shown in the reporting of individual commits on the ooo-commits mailing list. The commits made between successive snapshots can also be determined by reviewing SVN logs, down to the revision history of individual source-code files.

NOTE: The provided unofficial developer builds here should always be based on the same revision number to align and coordinate our early QA efforts. It is not intended to keep older builds at this time for reference.

NOTE: The snapshot builts this week are full install sets to test system integration and upgrades. Please be aware of potential problems and backup your user directory.

CAUTION:

On Windows, if you change the install paths for parallel installation, keep the new path names as short or shorter than the built-in names. Paths longer than 72 characters can cause mysterious failures to install. (Bug 118823)

You can find a source release snapshot based on the same revision r1309668 under src_release. All necessary information how to verify the signature etc. can be found there. Feedback is welcome on the ooo-dev mailing list.

MacOS

I prepare my source tree to have a fresh clean tree without any output. I update the sources to the revision number that we have agreed on and use the following switches to build the snapshots. I use pre-built versions of dmake and epm. Amd I use the pre-built mozilla libs.

Windows

I (Oliver, orw at apache.org) used a pre-built version of dmake and pre-buildt mozilla libraries (main/moz/zipped/). Additionally, I copied the following libraries and files into my clean and fresh source tree:

main/external/dbghelp/DbgHelp.Dll

main/external/gdiplus/gdiplus.dll

main/external/msvcp71/msvcr71.dll

main/external/msvcp80/msvcp80.dll

main/external/msvcp80/msvcr80.dll

main/external/msvcp90/Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest

main/external/msvcp90/msvcm90.dll

main/external/msvcp90/msvcp90.dll

main/external/msvcp90/msvcr90.dll

Since rev. 1296433 I have installed the DirectX SDK. Thus, DirectX is no longer disabled.
I also applied since rev. 1296433 suggestions from issue 118821. Thus, ATL and ActiveX are no longer disabled.

I think the idea was to align the snapshot and that they are based all on the same revision number. If the snapshot based on this revison is not available I would remove the link.
But we can use the revision numbers as well and hope that it don't become to confusing.

I trust that you understand these builds are not releases and should not be deployed into production use?

Also, if you have someone who can perform the builds and make them available, that would accelerate the availability that you desire. There are others who have the gear for this and may be attempting builds. I don't know if they will be added here.

Finally, you might make your concerns known on the ooo-dev mailing list where those who do builds are subscribed. Email ooo-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org with any subject line to subscribe. The ooo-users list might be a preferable alternative, although not all developers follow it.

I found that the option to perform a repair install is missing - I downloaded the multilanguage version today, thinking it was a later version that the US-Es version, but after starting the install program the set up was aborted with the message "This version is already installed" or words to that effect.
For the rest - good work, the wizard ran in Dutch.

Hello
tested on Windows Vista sp2 and Win 7 sp1, MacOsX 10.7.3 and Ubuntu 11.10
r1303653
Bug 118954 - Chart data will lost after copy to different file
is FIXED whith US Version
but not if you install the language pack french (fr) after !
Uninstalling this french pack removes the bug.

The language packs German or Spannish that seem backward translation does occur by this bug.
The multi-lingual full installation sets file reproduced the bug.
Note the correct paste on AOO FR, BUT from the clipboard created by copying chart produced in LibO 3.4.x or 3.5.1
